Your company seem to be rather slow in falling into line with the law. The requirement to check the eligibility of employees to work in this country came into effect on 29 February 2008. Since it was actually included in the provisions of the Immigration, Asylum, and Nationality Act 2006 most employers had carried out the checks well before that date.

Infact it is illegal to tale anyone on without seeing the evidence of their identity and keeping a copy of it
